Earlier, Paulo Coelho had taken to the same platform to share his thoughts on Shah Rukh Khan’s film My Name Is Khan, wherein he had stated that the actor deserved an Oscar for his performance as an autistic man in the film but didn’t get one because of the biases and prejudices of Hollywood. To the same, Shah Rukh Khan too had taken to Twitter to thank the author for his kind words and expressed how much he loves Coelho’s works.

Coming to films, Shah Rukh Khan will be seen as a vertically challenged man for the first time in Aanand L. Rai’s Zero that also stars Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif. The film is expected to release on December 21.
